adjustable or non adjustable lca's

[kammi10]

welp since i have horendus wheel hop and once i put my relocation brackets on i want to get some tubular lower control arms but not sure what would be better, if i got adjustable ones or just the non adjustable ones

[Orange Terror]

I would think adjustable would always be better. That way you can change something if you need to. However, there may be information about them I'm not aware of.

[kammi10]

yeah i was thinking so but the only difference is that the adjustable ones don;t have poly bushings or anything just has the hiem joints and sleeves so there will be no flex at all

Friend of mine has them on his '84 Camaro and hates the adjustables. He said he'd rather have stock then the adjustable LCA's

[kammi10]

why does he hate them, do they come loose on him ?

Yeah, then the come out of alignment, and you get to spend more money

Adjustables suck...come loose all the time.

Yep, after reading that I'd go non adjustable too.

You drive it on the street... the rod-ends are not very... umm comfortable

I dont like poly either due to binding.

Best performance is the rod-ends
Best comfort is stock rubber (the 4th gen LE1 cars had thicker rubber than standard.. which i would reccomend.. but your 3rd gen)

I have the rod ends on my car and its not bad.. but they will wear out quickly with standard street use.. i'd bet you'd only see maybe 10k miles with a set of rod ends before they start clunking more than you can stand.

Oh.. and mine have NOT come loose yet.. so thats not a big problem.

[kammi10]

well i don't want to replace ends all the time so i think ill go with the non adjustable

[GETGONE]

UMI Rod/poly combo. Thats what I went with on my adjustable PHB and will be doing LCA's when I get money. The rod end attaches to the rear end and the poly to the body end so it minimizes noise and ride harshness.

i wont use ADJ, LCA, THERE is no need,there a wast of time, come loose all the time, not worth the $$, you have a sweet tourque arm you will grab and loose all your wheel hope...

Ya I don't think there is an actual need for adjustable lower control arms
